A Texas feedlot owner says increased competition in the cattle industry is a good thing.
The Kirkland Feedyard in Vega, Texas has the capacity to feed out about 25,000 head of cattle each year. Robby Kirkland, who manages the feedlot says they sell cattle to the four major packers and a regional. “We’re about 70% cash, and about 30% on a grid or some sort of value-based marketing so we can mix it up,” he says.
